Carl Johnston is an ESSA Accredited Exercise Physiologist and Accredited Exercise Scientist with extensive experience in clinical exercise rehabilitation, chronic disease management and musculoskeletal injuries.
He holds a Bachelor of Exercise Science (Clinical Practice) and a Master of Clinical Exercise Science and Rehabilitation from Victoria University.
Throughout his career, Carl has worked with more than 1,000 clients across community health and private practice settings, providing individualised exercise interventions for a diverse range of acute, subacute and chronic health conditions.
His clinical experience spans musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, metabolic, neurological and respiratory conditions, alongside complex presentations requiring multidisciplinary management.
In addition to his clinical work, Carl has held leadership responsibilities within exercise physiology and allied health teams, supporting the delivery of evidence-based healthcare services.
Drawing upon his clinical experience, academic background and passion for education, Carl developed the Exercise Rehabilitation textbook series to provide students and healthcare professionals with comprehensive, practical resources that translate scientific evidence into clinical application.
Why I Wrote These Books
Throughout my career as an Exercise Physiologist, I have recognised the importance of bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical clinical application.
While scientific literature provides extensive information on pathology, assessment and treatment, translating this knowledge into structured, individualised exercise rehabilitation programs can often be challenging.
I wanted to create educational resources that not only explain the science behind different health conditions but also provide practical guidance on how to apply that knowledge in clinical settings.
The Exercise Rehabilitation series was developed with this purpose in mind, to combine scientific foundations, evidence-based recommendations and practical exercise prescription principles into comprehensive, accessible textbooks.
My goal is to support students developing their clinical understanding and experienced practitioners seeking to expand their knowledge, refine their exercise prescription skills and deliver effective, individualised rehabilitation programs.
